Cubs signed second-round pick LHP Burl Carraway.
Carraway gets $1.05 million, which is a good deal below the $1.44 million slot value that came with the 51st pick; where Carraway was selected. The 21-year-old hurler was considered by many to be the best pure reliever in this draft, as he complements a mid-to-high 90s fastball with a curveball that gets double-plus grades from scouts. There are no guarantees, but it’s certainly possible we could see Carraway pitching for the Cubs before the 2020 season ends.
